Is iPhone the apple of your eye? Maybe not, but with a little help from Starbucks, it may soon be the coffee in your cup. Starbucks announced that it has tested a customer payment service and is ready to introduce to the public it's brand new service to allow you to order your morning..afternoon..or evening java with your mobile devices. A little coffee with your iPhone sir?
Not to worry BlackBerry, and iPod touch users, Starbucks has not forgot about you, as you too can make your coffee purchase with your mobile device as you drive off into the sunset with the sweet fragrance of your favorite mixture mingling with that new car smell in your latest automobile purchase. Android, not today, but Starbucks promises you too shall get your day to shine. So stay healthy, stay real, and for God's sake keep your hands on the wheel.

I haven't even heard of this before, we certainly are entering the age of technology, or maybe we're already in it. I can't afford any of these electronic devices, but I would love to have an Ipod.I'm probably going to buy the off-brand version.
thanks for sharing, this is a very interesting development indeed. Starbucks if definitely going to be overflowing with customers!Thank you Sydney. I like to have fun when I can. Most stuff I write about is too sad to have fun with, so this stuff is a breath of fresh air. Thanks for reading it, and the comment.
I don't understand David, do you order your coffee then go pick it up at the Starbucks location or what?Ya David, you order it and pay for it with your smart phone then just go pick it up and run which is what I assume it is basically for, the convenience of speed. But I guess you can just sit there and drink it and spend your life savings on coffee if you want to. I think the farther you get away from the temptation of consuming more high priced java it's probably prudent to put as much distance between yourself and them as is possible. Thanks for reading, and the comment sir.
Very entertaining, David, I had fun reading - it sounds as if you've had a couple of cups of coffee on the go yourself!!Always on the go Jenn, but I prefer my caffeine in my coca cola.:-) And the new car smell...well, you may have to ride with Bruce to get that.;-) Thanks for reading, and the comment.
I downloaded the Starbucks app for my iPhone to see what time the stores around my work opened and I saw the payment feature. Sounds brilliant, and yet I don't think I want to relinquish my credit card to Starbucks. I spend enough there as it is. Nicely done.I certainly understand that Michael. It's becoming far too easy to spend what little we have anymore. Takes two mules and a bucking bronco to get my wallet out of my back pocket.:-) Thanks for reading, and the comment sir.
David, I already commented when you wrote it, but I'm using this as a way to get in touch. I've been wondering where the heck you are, and if you're okay? I do hope everything's alright. I miss your articles, your empathy, your fabulous comments and your great sense of humor. Please come back!You're too sweet Jennifer Stewart! Thank you for your concern and your wonderful comments. I've had to redirect my attention on capital accumulation yet once again and like everything else that I do, whether that's good or bad I don't know, I've had to immerse myself in an attempt to make the most out of this particular venture. I now have volumes of wonderful writing by many of SearchWarp's brilliant authors such as yourself that I vow to get to as soon as possible, and do pick off bits and pieces as I get a chance, but for me, for a while my pen will be silent. Thank you very much for the thoughts, I think about you all often as well and besides when I read you guys I feel that most of my positions are being represented in excellent fashion.
Love you, be good, and remember I'll be watching,:-)
-DaveI totally understand David - or is it Dave? I wish you lots of luck with your venture. You sure deserve it. May the money come soon so we can see more of you!!
